Progressing ROM HacksThis forum is for ROM hacks which are currently in production, but not yet finished. Come and find a ROM hack that's starting out, or post your own for others to see! For Pokémon/non-Pokémon hacks.

Dude your attitude totally rocks! No nostalgia! YEA! Youre like creating something that nintendo wished they had made themselves, but, too bad for them! Really love the sprites. Right from the beginning it feels like theres a lot to explore. Cant wait to beat the Elite Four, or is it not four anymore? Im just saying..... GOOD JOB SON!

The Elite Four will be the same. Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, Lance, and then Blue.

Oh, so people can have a clearer idea of how much longer the beta will be than the alpha, here's a map of every area you can access in Beta 1:http://a.imageshack.us/img707/3269/beta1map.png

In Beta 1 will we get two badges? Seeing that Routes 24&25 are in Beta 1 the Nugget Bridge the Sea Cottage events are in Beta 1. The beta probably ends with someone blocking the Underground Path in Route 5. I like the tile set you made as it does resemble HG/SS. Is the Cerulean Gym gonna have a Sailor in it since there were two in Cerulean Gym in HG/SS?

I think you answered your own question
Explain: The game ends at route 5 so we cant go to Vermilion yet so we can only have 2 badges Boulder and Cascade

You will be able to obtain 2 badges. Bill will also give you the S.S. Anne ticket, but for now it's going to be completely useless. Also the Rocket event in Cerulean City is there, but it is a little different, since the layout of Cerulean City in DarkViolet/HG/SS is significantly different than the layout in R/G/B/Y/FR/LG. You will be able to access Route 5 before you beat Misty, unlike FR/LG.

Also, in future releases, you will also be able to access Route 5 before you beat Misty, but you are not allowed to enter the Underground Path until you beat Misty.

Think logically. If Bill says that he got combined with a Pokemon, of course I'm going to make him look like a Clefairy. Otherwise, then the whole event would make no sense.

The reason I've said this is because I follow the Chinese Pokemon Manga names,
and I directly translate them.

Please be reminded that the Rival's name is Green, according to Japanese Pokemon Manga.

Nope.
1. Manga and games are not canon, meaning despite character similarities (or identicalities, which is now a word), they aren't the same.
2. In the English HGSS, the leader of Viridian Gym is called Blue. Earlier on, Chaos Rush stated that this is what he was going by, therefore it makes sense to call the heroine Green, and not Blue. (and not Leaf, either, since Red, Blue and Leaf don't exactly go together).

Yeah, I know that, but I thought that Manga names are cooler...

That depends. The version I'm reading (on One Manga) has the Japanese names. So, it kind of depends as the version I'm reading is different than the one book I have (first three chapters).

This is true, the manga has quite a few translations and versions, it gets confusing.

But does it really matter? I mean HGSS called him Blue, despite the prequels being FireRed and LeafGreen, so... Okay, honestly I'm beginning to confuse myself here. I'll be back for the next update... :D

Firered is basically the same as Red. HGSS is a direct remake of Gold/Silver, which takes place after Red. By the manga (and US release dates), it's 3 years. Emerald is an improved version of Ruby, which, by previous logic, takes place 2 years after Gold.

But what about Celio? International trading was created in Firered, when a Ruby and Sapphire were used to connect National PokéDexes. That's how you can trade with FR off the bat. I may have missed something, though.

Edit- Longest post I ever made with a Wii Remote.

Okay, Red is still alive during the events of Ruby- that's how he trades.

Release dates and the manga have absolutely nothing to do with when the official games take place :/.

Go ahead and think whatever you want, but since this is my hack, and I'm the only guy making the Pokémon Saga hack series, I can do whatever I want, and I'm going to say this right here:

Pokémon Saga - DarkViolet and Pokémon Saga - Jade takes place at the same time.

Firered is basically the same as Red. HGSS is a direct remake of Gold/Silver, which takes place after Red. By the manga (and US release dates), it's 3 years. Emerald is an improved version of Ruby, which, by previous logic, takes place 2 years after Gold.

Lemme get this straight.
The events of R/S/E and FR/LG are of the same timeline.

While the events of HG/SS and D/P/P are of the same timeline.
And the events of HG/SS occur after 3 years of FR/LG timeline.

You can't say that the events of Emerald happens AFTER HG/SS, that would impossible. While it IS true that Emerald is indeed an IMPROVED version
of R/S, they are still of the same timeline.

Now, you may ask, "Where did you get this information?"

Well, I forgot, but I remembered that from a person in Serebii...

It DID translated to Chinese. (I have a whole collection of them.)
All Pokemon stuff are translated to Chinese, except for video games.

*You don't need a time machine in either set of games to trade with each other
*An NPC on One Island states that her boyfriend lives in Hoenn
*An NPC on Seven Island states that Bruno once trained with Brawly
*You can buy Lava Cookies on Two Island. The item description mentions Lavaridge Town
*An NPC in Lilycove City mentions he came from the Kanto region*You can go to Navel Rock and Birth Island in FR/LG AND Emerald.
*On Faraway Island, the faded signpost's message ends with, "...ji" in the Japanese version. Mr. Fuji's japanese name is also Fuji, meaning that since Mew = Kanto, and Mr. Fuji = Kanto, there's another Kanto reference right there.

HG/SS takes place at the same time as D/P/Pt because:

*You don't need a time machine in either set of games to trade with each other
*In the beginning of Diamond/Pearl, there's a TV report on the red Gyarados that appears HG/SS.
*In Platinum, there's an NPC at the Fight Area that says he filmed the documentary, "The Search for the Red Gyarados!"
*In Platinum, the first time you try to enter Lake Valor, there's two NPCs blocking your path. One of them says he filmed the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage. Yes, he specifically mentions the Lake of Rage.
*In HG/SS, in Bill's house in Goldenrod City, one of the NPCs says that Eevee can evolve into one of seven different kinds of Pokemon (he said five in G/S/C). What would be those seven? Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon.*Maylene and Crasher Wake actually appear in HG/SS.*Jasmine appears in D/P/Pt.
*There are plenty of Johto references in Platinum
*There are plenty of Sinnoh references in HG/SS

HG/SS & D/P/Pt takes place 3 years after FR/LG & R/S/E because:

*In Azalea Town, when you rescue Kurt from the Slowpoke Well, he explains to you that Team Rocket was broken up 3 years ago by a boy named Red. Red could be anyone, but there's an NPC in the game you could battle named Red, and he clearly looks like the male protagonist of FR/LG.*There's a whole bunch of NPCs scattered throughout Johto and Kanto saying something along the lines of, "Team Rocket was broken up 3 years ago"
*In FR/LG, if you go to Team Rocket's Warehouse on Five Island and read one of the computers, it talks about frequencies forcing Pokemon to evolve. This is a reference to the red Gyarados plot that is supposed to happen 3 years later, which the event directly takes place in HG/SS, and is talked about in D/P/Pt.*In G/S/C, you specifically needed a time machine to trade with R/G/B/Y.

Although I already knew this piece of information from a friend in Serebii
and he said that, "R/S/E and FR/LG take place in the same timeline, meanwhile,
HG/SS and D/P/P take place in the same timeline."

Due to D/P/P has Johto references, I think that's one of the reasons
that Game Freak decided to create HG/SS, hopefully to earn more money
and to also create a fact that HG/SS and D/P/P takes place in the same timeline.
